I went to florida a couple of years ago but we missed the launch of a shuttle then, i dont remember which one it was but we were there when it re-entered the earth's atmosphere, and made one hell of a thunder!!

Watching that footage has made me remember when i was a kid & i would spend ages looking through the window watching the sky. Then curiousity the better of my mother & she ask me what i was doing, I replied "looking for space rockets taking off" ;D ;D How we used to see things in black & white 8-) 8-) :) :)

The mission had been extended by a day because Nasa wanted the shuttle's crew to make repairs to a machine which makes drinking water from urine.

Saved them drinking Lager then. ;D
